AMAZING Disney Music ( That Sometimes Gets Left Out)2

This is a continuation of my Blog series highlighting and remembering amazing Disney music a few good songs at a time. My first post is in the link below or saved in my posts: http://aminoapps.com/p/ogqomb

Disney music makes you nostalgic and feels you with all sorts of emotions that you can relate to. It can’t help but bring you back into your comfort zone and make you feel great.

While the vast majority are written by Disney for the movies, the criteria for these songs is that they just have to have been part of a Disney soundtrack regardless of who performed them or if it was even a movie, special, TV show or a Ride Theme, and the song does not need to have lyrics ( but the vast majority do). And to mix it up I won’t put songs from the same movies right next to each other.

Without further ado, here are more Disney songs that deserve to be recognized.

AMAZING AND/ OR CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED DISNEY MUSIC IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

“ The Rain Rain Rain Came Down Down Down” - Whinnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day:

The Rain Rain Rain (came Down Down Down) English

This is a cute narrative song sung by the Disney chorus, and written by the amazingly talented Sherman Brothers. This song is light and fun and makes you wanna sing along or bounce with joy as you watch the turmoil going on in the cartoon.

“ One Little Slip” - Chicken Little:

One Little Slip - Chicken Little

This great song done by the Bare Naked Ladies has a much more rock feel than a lot of other Disney Movies, and outlines the idea of the movie perfectly. It talks about things going wrong and is cool to listen to anytime if you just like a bit more action in your Disney.

“Portabello Road” - Bed Knobs and Broomsticks:

Portabello Road

“Portabello Road” has a great rhythm with a dreary start that picks up pace and becomes extremely fun. David Tomleson ( who also played Mr Banks in Marry Poppins) sings the main vocals of the song as his character Professor Brown shows everyone around the Portabello Road flea market, and turns the grey and dirty atmosphere into a fun dance festival of music that instantly picks up everyone around.

“ On the Front Porch” - Summer Magic:

Sherman Bros & Ives - On The Front Porch

Yet another awesome song written by the Sherman Brothers, this is a peaceful piece to listen to while you relax. A simple tune played only by a guitar and some smooth vocals that makes you feel cozy and long to be resting at home with your family.

“Darkwing Duck Theme Song” - Darkwing Duck:

Darkwing Duck Opening (High Quality)

Another great theme done for a cool Disney cartoon, this is a great short song if you like something with a little more 90’s hip hop in it. It’s beat and tone give it a mystery vibe everyone can enjoy.

“ Put on Your Sunday Clothes”- WALL-E:

Wall-E Opening Scene

WALL-E probably isn’t the first movie you think of when it comes to music. However, this 1963 song somehow manages to find its home perfectly in the empty dystopian world of WALL-E. Its a very bright song that gives both a sense of sad things broken and forgotten, along with optimism and hope for a new tomorrow in the ravaged future of the human race. This song gives the movie a completely unique quality and the old radio like sound is like silk in your ears.

“Remy Drives A Linguini”- Ratatouille:

Ratatouille - Remy Drives A Linguini Scene

Unlike the other songs on this list this one is a score, and has no lyrics. I chose to put this song on this list because not only does Ratatouille have a great soundtrack, but this is an extremely fun moment in the movie when Remy learns to puppeteer his clumsy friend. The bouncy rhythm in the back along with some smooth high pitched whistling matches the situation perfectly, somehow managing to speak about cooking without words with that Frenchy feel that fits the movie perfectly.

“ Lava”- Lava:

Lava (From "Lava" (Official Lyric Video))

This song is a beautiful narrative written and played in the Disney Short Film Lava, that would typically be played before movies for a while. It has a Hawaiian sound and is sung to a soft ukulele. It tells of a cute romance story between two lonely volcanoes over time. This song is a very sweet emotional tune.

Thats all for this Blog, but I will definitely do another one soon.

If you want here’s the link to my Spotify playlist of more than 360 Disney songs, themes, and scores I handpicked. I add to it all the time and try to only pick the original full versions used in the motion pictures.
